Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

"That's it..."

Seeing her smiling face, Quetzalcoatl finally couldn't resist and hugged her tightly, saying happily:

"I can't stand it! You're such a good child, let me give you a good hug!"

"Thank you... for the compliment... but I'm almost out of breath..."

"Ah, sorry, sorry!"

Sensing something was amiss, Quetzalcoatl quickly released his grip, scratching his head and laughing awkwardly. Fujimaru Ritsuka, finally freed, took a deep breath of fresh air.

Although the other party's capital is not particularly abundant, they are quite shrewd when it comes to keeping people quiet.

However, after this period of playful banter, the atmosphere between the two became more lively. At this moment, Quetzalcoatl smiled with some curiosity:

"Actually, what I wanted to ask was, has things returned to normal on your end?"

"Well..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought, and said with some hesitation:

"It seems like things have calmed down, but it's not quite... Anyway, my life is still a mess, and I can't seem to find any peace."

Quetzal Koyatl gazed at her cheek and spoke with gentle concern:

"That must be very tiring, right?"

"To be honest, it can be tough at times, but it's not so bad now."

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Because I've met a lot of people along the way, and I realize that there are many people who are watching me, caring about me, and willing to give me the greatest support, so it's gradually become less tiring."

"Is that so? That would be great."

Quetzal Koyatl was genuinely happy for her, and then she smiled and said:

"Hearing you say that, I'm starting to look forward to what the future holds. Come to think of it, I'm a little envious of the other side of me. She must have experienced far more than I have now, right?"

"Then please look forward to it!"

Upon hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Although I am not very mature yet, I believe he will definitely be able to reach the end of the final road."

At least one thing is certain: given Gudao's personality, he shouldn't end up in a state of collapse; it's just that the process might be a bit more complicated.

However, regardless of what path Gudao will take in the future, at least for now, she doesn't mind lending him a hand to make things a little easier for him.

Speaking of which...

Next comes the final battle, a relentless barrage that will test the fruits of their hard work over this period.

And by then, she should be able to indulge herself a little, right?

……

...

The next morning, the soldiers needed to travel with the people from other cities in the dense forest area, so they returned ahead to report the situation and then rushed back to Uruk without stopping.

Quetzal Koyatl returned with them, while the task of directing the pterosaurs to carry the axes was left to the leopard-men.

Unlike the arduous journey there, this time, with Quetzalcoatl accompanying them, the group made no trouble in the dense forest, as if walking on a flat and wide road.

Before evening, the group returned safely to Uruk and went to the Tower of God to report to King Gilgamesh.

"Hello, King of Uruk."

Seeing Gilgamesh's somewhat astonished expression, Quetzalcoatl introduced himself with a smile:

"Because I really like this boy Fujimaru, I'm now Fujimaru's servant. I'll be helping you fight the Demon Goddess from now on. Nice to meet you!"

Come spicy!

Chapter 466 Preparations for the Decisive Battle, Tactical Arrangements

"I must say, you have indeed exceeded my expectations..."

Quetzalcoatl's arrival was completely unexpected, even for Gilgamesh.

After all, the other party was a supreme god from South American mythology, and even someone as arrogant as him could not underestimate him.

"Hahahahahahaha...!"

"—Well done, Fujimaru!"

Then, Gilgamesh flashed his signature smile and praised Gudao without hesitation:

"To be able to do this much, even I have to look at you with new respect! I didn't expect you to be so capable."

"I'll say it again, well done!"

"Yes!"

Gudao was thrilled to receive such undisguised praise, and Mashu, standing beside him, was equally proud and happy.

Then, he laughed and said:

"Besides me, Mash, Anna, Ishtar, Gudako, and Merlin... everyone helped me a lot too!"

Gilgamesh laughed:

"Of course I know. But you are fully worthy of my praise."

"So there's no need to be modest; just stand tall and proudly accept the praise."

"Yes!"

Besides the verbal praise, they also received a large amount of currency from Gilgamesh, enough for them to squander for several days in what is now Uruk.

Seeing this, Gilgamesh nodded slightly in satisfaction:

“Very good. —By the way, Siduri, why are you secretly wiping away tears over there?”

"I'm just happy for them."

Siduri wiped away the tears that had welled up in the corners of her eyes, and looked at Gudao and the others with a smile, her expression full of relief.

Back when Gilgamesh didn't accept the Chaldea group, she was in charge of taking care of Gudao and the others' daily needs and assigning them various tasks.

Now, they have not only gained Gilgamesh's approval through their own efforts, but also received his undisguised praise. Such obvious progress is truly remarkable.

"Miss Siduri..."

For Gudao and the others, Siduri's existence was also special; she was like a parent who had always taken care of them, making them feel very close to her.

"Seeing them grow to the point where the king can praise them is like seeing the once ignorant and naive king suddenly reform..."

"Shut up, that's taboo!"

Gilgamesh's expression changed instantly, and he quickly interrupted Siduri's speech, saying with a dark face:

"Siduli, even if it's you, don't casually bring up my dark history!"

"Forget about it now!"

Hearing him say that, Siduri obediently nodded and said:

"Yes, I'll forget about it right away."

Upon hearing this, Gudao and Mashu looked at Gilgamesh with some curiosity.

Come to think of it, they had almost forgotten that this wise and diligent king, who was so overworked that he died, was once a tyrant.

But Gilgamesh clearly had no intention of giving them a chance to gossip. Ignoring their gazes, Gilgamesh moved directly to the next topic:

"Now that two of the goddesses in the Three Goddess Alliance have been won over, the next target is undoubtedly the last one, the Beast Goddess."

"In other words, the final battle is about to begin!"

"—!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines, put aside their extraneous thoughts, and their expressions became serious.

However, compared to the serious and tense atmosphere, the current mood is more one of exhilaration. This is because the current situation is far better than they had anticipated.

Currently known enemy forces include:

Gorgon, the Beast Goddess blessed with the Holy Grail and possessing the special powers of the creator goddess Tiamat; Jingu, who possesses the body of the divine weapon "Chains of Heaven" and has the same functions as Enkidu; and a second-generation army of 100,000 Beasts specially trained for battle.

Their combat strength includes:

The Servants summoned by Gilgamesh are Merlin, Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo Benkei, and Leonidas I;

The Chaldea side includes Mash, the goddess servants Ishtar, Ereshkigal, Quetzalcoatl, and the leopard-man;

Two unaffiliated servants, Anna and Gudako;

Finally, this also includes Uruk soldiers capable of using firearms, reinforcements on their way to Uruk, including Quetzalcoatl's pterosaur unit, and the [Marduk's hand axe] being transported, etc...

Judging from the data on paper alone, it can be said that there is no huge gap in combat strength between the two sides, or even that they are evenly matched.

For the Chaldea group, who were already used to playing from behind, this situation was an unexpected and delightful surprise.

After confirming the combat strength of both sides, the next step is to discuss tactical arrangements.

Merlin laughed:

"In seven days, the second generation of magical beasts will be fully trained. If nothing unexpected happens, the enemy will launch a full-scale attack around that time. In other words, that day will be the final battle."

They couldn't be sure of the combat strength of the second-generation monsters, but judging from the situation of the first-generation monsters, the all-out offensive of the second-generation monsters would definitely cause huge losses to Uruk.

If all the people of Uruk were to perish, it would be meaningless for them to successfully defeat the Beast Goddess.

"However, we can also choose to take the initiative."

In other words, it was a decapitation strike: to kill the Beast Goddess Gorgon before the second generation of monsters hatched and obtain the Holy Grail.

However, before the second-generation magical beasts hatch, Jingu will definitely stay by the side of the magical beast goddess, which makes everyone feel a bit troubled.

Although it may sound harsh, in battles at this level, Servants like Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo Benkei, and Leonidas I are actually quite ineffective.

The only ones truly capable of fighting the enemy head-on are Ishtar, Quetzalcoatl, the leopard-man, Merlin, and Anna, who are all divine servants.
